"Don't act as nothing happened," Eion said.
That made me nervous. I looked at him curiously. "I'm not acting, what is it?"
He tilted his head, "You really don't remember?"
I shook my head no. He cursed under his breath. "We ki..we uhm..never mind."
My eyes widened. Ki? Oh, no....is that..is that....kiss? Did we really?
Oh my gosh….so it was really true… I thought that was only a dream!
"Kiss?" The word comes out of my mouth.
He didn't reply. Instead, he stopped and turned his head away with me catching him reddening at the word. He nodded his head slightly. "So did that really...happen?"
EION’S POVI blinked, staring at the wall blankly, feeling the familiar scent taking me in. Scanning my eyes around, it didn’t take long for me to figure out where I was.Damn. Hospital again.I couldn’t count how many times I’ve been to places like this because of this stupid disease. Why am I even here in the first place?I touched the bruise on my face, hissing at the sharp pain. The last thing I remembered was driving my car...Then I realized, because of this stupid disease of mine. I got in an accident...Just then, a nurse in her white uniform came to inject something into me. I just closed my eyes, wanting it to end soon as I felt the sharp needle piercing my skin.
Days passed by and it was already New year’s eve and I was at Jackson’s residence, which mom agreed to come to and, Nathan. So now, we’re celebrating here at Luke’s place since Aunt Maggie and all their family were here.I crossed my arms together in front of me, rubbing my arms to create heat as a cold air swept past me. I snorted, regretting the choice I made for wearing this red sleeveless dress reaching only above my knee and not offering me enough heat needed by my body tonight.The only good thing that made me wear this tonight is the beautiful pattern of roses embroidered elegantly.I scanned my eyes around the living room of Jackson's residence, more specifically, the siblings Hannah and Luke's house. I admit that I have always been around here in this house that even the
"Yeah..." I trailed off. Gulping, I cleared my throat to ask him a question I was always insecure about, "Luke am I a good-""Look at that! It's the squad." Luke cut off, pointing to something. I wanted to ask Luke if I did a good job as his girlfriend, it bothered me always.Shrugging it off, I looked at the direction-the road he pointed not far enough from us but far enough for us to see."What are they doing?" He wondered out loud.I looked at the squad, all of them were there except Eion. Dax is hugging Emma by his side with him shouting something for Leroy and Leroy glared at him, coming for Hannah to rescue him but Hannah just walked far from him.Leroy just gave up and stopped to prepare for something. He t
Class came. And things were awkward, with Eion still not showing a sign anywhere.The couples around us were very sweet and I wanted to puke at the sight.And after that conversation with Luke at their house last New Year’s Eve, Luke has been avoiding me. Whenever our eyes met, he would immediately act as nothing happened.Whenever we crossed paths, he'd immediately turn around and run away from me as fast as he could.Well, I think it's better since I don't have the right to face him now.What he said last time really struck me to the core. He has a point. And he’s giving me time to think about it.Because it's true. I really am confused now. E
With the days passing by, our senior prom is already approaching. With Emma and Hannah still not talking to me, I had finally decided on it.I went straight home these past few days.I stood up to welcome my mother at the door, who was so happy with a wide grin on her face. "Hi mom, why are you so happy today?" I asked, scratching my head.She didn't reply but instead, flashed me a wide grin and an evil expression.It turns out that she wanted to take a measure of my body. She took a tape measure and began earlier, finishing just now.I stared at her deadpan, now realizing it. "Mom, if you think I'm going to go to the prom, no. I won't. Never." Yes, I decided I’ll just don’t go to the prom. I don&rsquo
A week passed by and now's the day of our senior high prom. With my week containing fights and arguments, I was so exhausted to see my mom standing at the front door of our house just as I got home with a big grin on her face, holding a big carton box that I'm afraid I know what's inside is."Snow!" She called out, singing my name."Oh hey, mom!" I sent her a sheepish smile and waved at her. "Bye!" I ran towards the back door of the house and went straight to my bedroom and locked my door shut."But you'll miss this for the rest of your life!" I heard mom yelling from the other side of the door, banging it so loud."Don't care." I spat, licking candies that I had stored thankfully."Please? For me?" Mom begged again.
"And the winner for prom queen is.....Ember Wilson!"We all applauded the girl. Some girl won the prom queen and it was Ember, the girl who I sat within my literature class."And the winner for prom king is.....Luke Jackson!" Said the announcer for the day.We all cheered at them, and they both stood beside each other. They really look good together. I hope Luke finds happiness in her.Emma glanced at me, studying my reaction to see if I reacted weirdly but I just gave her a thumbs up, “They look good together.”She nodded, patting me on the head.Heading home straight after that, I got in Dax's car with the rest of the squad following me. They
He then went behind the bushes and pulled out a bouquet of flowers.Like from the flowers decorated around us, they were different kinds like one rose, one daisy, one tulip, and many more just in the single bouquet.On the other hand, he hid something behind his back that I can't see from my view despite the fact that we are filled with lights everywhere.He went to me and gave me the roses then showing his other hand to reveal a tub of chocolate ice cream."What's this?" I asked.He cleared his throat, "Will you give me the chance and eat this with me there?" He pointed to the comfy blanket and pillow setup.Shrugging, I just laughed at him and nodded, feeling a bit a
Thank goodness I managed to convince Eion to stop by the reception after making out with him in the car.The reception was at Hudson’s villa, where Eion’s childhood friend, Mario was serving. I spotted him and smiled at him. “Glad you’re still working here, Mario.”He bowed a bit, “Even I’m amazed why Eion didn’t fire me. Anyways, I’m wishing you a happy marriage, Ms. Snow.” He then whispered, “I knew you two would end up with each other.” He said with a wink, and before I could even reply, he walked away.“What was that?” Asked Eion when he caught up to me as he was parking the car earlier.“Oh, nothing. It’s Mario being Mario.” I replied.
Eion started his vow. “Do you remember the very first day that we met?”It was not the usual love at first sight moment. I’ve hated you, not knowing that it was love that I was feeling. We started out as enemies and now, look at us. You have become my lover, my companion, and my best friend. There's no one else I'd want to build a life with. I get to have you by my side, my love, and my wife, for eternity.” Saying that he paused. He was looking at my eyes as he said that. He didn’t have any copy, he then continued,“You have made me the happiest man in the world today by agreeing to share your life with me. I promise to cherish and respect you. I promise to care for you and protect you. I promise to comfort you and encourage you. I promise to be with you for all of eternity.
Reaching the venue, I stayed in the car as the organizers of our wedding checked everything first before we started.I looked at the busy crowd sitting on the chairs. We only have a hundred guests for today as I don’t want to invite a lot.Besides, I don’t have a lot of friends. I lost touch with my high school friends the moment we migrated here. Also, mom is also not that close with dad’s relatives as they both ran away from their home when they had me.And I can’t blame her for that.So I only have mom, Nathan, and some of my classmates from Anastolgia High like Ember. So it’s mostly Eion’s family and relatives as his guests. I saw Luke and Hannah greeting the guests and making sure everyone was comfortable.
“I really didn’t expect you, out of the three of us, to be the first one to get married, Snow.” Said Emma as she applied some powder on her face with her makeup brush. “Oh, are you jealous that she is the first one to be married out of us, or are you jealous because you want to get married next, Emma?” Hannah suggested as she applied lipstick on her lips. Emma just rolled her eyes, “Well, I didn't expect that you, out of all of us, to be the first one to get pregnant, Hannah.” She fired back, pointing at Hannah’s big tummy. Hannah is now seven months pregnant with Leroy’s child. Even I was surprised at the sudden news. I hadn’t expected it. Hannah chuckled at that and winked at me, “This is your time gi
Just then, Eion stopped and stood up. A waiter gave him a guitar and he cleared his throat.“I never sing, Snow, but for tonight, it’s only you and me. I’ll sing for you.”I gasped at that. “Wait, you’re really going to sing?”“Yes. I had been practicing for the past months. In the Philippines, did you know that it was their practice to sing your heart out with a guitar and go to the house of the person you are going to woo. It’s called harana.” He informed me. His hands were tuning the guitar and he was trembling a bit. I flashed him a smile and gave him a thumbs up to encourage him.He nodded, “It may not be your house and we're on a ship right now but... I’m doing it. I hope you’
SNOW’S POV“Snow, a delivery was sent to you,” Mom said as soon as I woke up. Grabbing it and opening it, it was flowers and chocolates, with a handwritten note that I know all too well.It was Eion’s.Reading it, I smile at what he just said inside the note.“To my beautiful snow in my winter heart, this is for you. I haven’t forgotten our anniversary.”this has been his tactic for the past 4 years every time it's our anniversary. Then, my phone beeped and Eion texted me.Did you like the flowers and chocolates? That’s just the teaser. We’ll have dinner later at 7pm. Don’t be late. - your strawberry addict robot
4 YEARS LATERAUNT MAGGIE’S POV“Justin!” I called out, huffing and climbing up the stairs. I turned to his nanny and asked, “He still hasn't eaten his breakfast?”“Yes ma'am. He’s been running around for the whole morning. I apologize.” His nanny replied.I breathed in and out, “Let’s stop chasing him for now. I’m sure you'll get tired soon and eat.” I said, dismissing his tired nanny. II walked towards the dining table where my husband was sitting and having his breakfast. “Honey, can you please call for Justin? His nanny has been tired of taking care of him these days. He has to eat his breakfast.”“Yes, honey.&rd
Emma’s POVWell, I trust Eion,” Snow replied to my question as she checked the time with her wristwatch. Sighing, she stood up and grabbed her bag. “I gotta go now.”I just rolled my eyes at her, “Yeah yeah, go to your strawberry addict robot now and leave your bitter and lonely friends.”She just chuckled at me and bid her goodbyes, with Hannah encouraging her also. “Go get your man, Snow.” She winked and left the ice cream shop.With Snow leaving, Hannah and I were left alone now. I turned to her, “What should we do now? Our friend just left and I’m bored.” I complained to her.It looks like Hannah was not hearing a wo
He turned off the lights. His lips continued on doing wonders on mine. This kiss was different from any of our last time. He trailed down kisses on my neck, down to my collarbone.It’s almost like he wanted to take a taste at everything, every inch of me. I couldn’t help but moan out his name, “Ugh. Eion.”And I covered my mouth from saying that, feeling my cheeks getting hotter in embarrassment.Geez, did I really…just moaned?I bit my lip, looking up at him as he stared into my soul, piercing me with his emerald eyes. He gulped, almost like in an agony, “Say that again. Call my name again, Snow.”I did as he told me, “Eion.”
